What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ?

Christ bids him come and die
When we give ourselves to Jesus, we meet ourselves coming and going in the cemetery. There’s a sense in which we pass from death to life (Eph. 2), but we also pass from life to death (Rom. 6). We’re crucified with Christ, and we die to sin. Many Christians focus on the joys of the […]

You have all the power you need
I have a bargain for you to consider, a really great deal on a new tripod. It is top of the line, weather resistant, and lightweight. It folds up to fit in a backpack. It adjusts to secure any type of camera. This tripod can be a treasure that you pass down to all future […]

Cheap Grace
“Such grace is costly … because it costs a man his life and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life. It is costly because it condemns sin, and grace because it justifies the sinner” (p. 5). “When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die” (pp. 8 and […]

Is your goodness good enough?
Nearly 90 percent of Americans think that they are “above average” when it comes to morality.2 That definitely indicts our math ability, but it also shows us that most people feel, deep down, that they are pretty good. Typically, we measure our goodness by contrasting ourselves with others. We know we’re not perfect, but we’re […]

As author, songwriter, poet, architect, king, diplomat, and philosopher, he was a Renaissance man centuries before the Renaissance.

Life by random chance?
All Darwin saw when he looked through the microscope was a roundish mass surrounded by a membrane with a semi-liquid fluid. I remember reading in my school textbooks and seeing statements that declared the inside of the nucleus held nothing but clear fluid. Thanks to today’s more powerful microscopes, we know that a single-cell organism, […]

When Storms come
When storms come into our lives, whether as a consequence of our wrongdoing or not, Christians have the promise that God will use them for their good (Romans 8:28). When God wanted to make Abraham into a man of faith who could be the father of all the faithful on earth, he put him through […]

Why were early believers called atheists?
It is hard for us to realize this today, but when Christianity first arose in the world it was not called a religion. It was the non-religion. Imagine the neighbors of early Christians asking them about their faith. “Where’s your temple?” they’d ask. The Christians would reply that they didn’t have a temple. “But how […]
